apply sheen to wood floor

In my on-going embellishment of my Villa Savoye model, I am adding furniture of my own choosing to make the interior renderings more interesting.  I have also added flooring materials from personal photos taken while there.  This is rendered with v8i and using high quality settings.

I would like to apply a sheen to the wood parquet flooring.  I have tried a number of settings in the material definition with no good result.  I should mention I am using a daytime default solar for Paris at noon.  I am adding some ambient and sky dome light.  No photo flash or distant lights.  There are ribbon windows on back and right walls and a full glass wall open to the sky on the left.

Here are the material settings:

Could anyone give me some pointers in ways to buff up that wood floor so that it doesn't have "hot spots" but shows a bit of shine and depth?  You are welcomed to provide the theory behind the adjustments.  This is not the only wood floor I'll ever attempt I'm sure so knowing the theory would be great.

A couple other tweaks I would like to get in the future are making the tiling a bit less regular (more random) and remove the pink tones in the floor and make them more oak like (tan.)
